Joel Radio #223: No Stingers

Joel hasn’t always enjoyed the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but he still goes to the movies and the most recent one, Ant-Man and The Wasp, was OK. But making people wait for the post-credit sequences has become a frustrating, ridiculous ritual that should probably end. Joel and Corey Hall review the new film, discuss the “stinger” phenomenon and why the last scene in Ant-Man was an absolute waste of time for everyone. And yes, you’ll have to wait for the end of the show for this discussion – it’s better than an ant playing drums! Also, comedian Bill Bushart calls in to promote his TV project, shares tales of travelling to Amsterdam, and promotes his comedy classes. Plus, GLOW returns to Netflix and it’s a bore, Joel tells you of a fantastic “real” wrestling show that you should watch, pinball in the digital age frustrates Corey, and the comedy special that everyone’s talking about except Joel who won’t watch comedy specials. The guys also have reviews of The Staircase, Wild Wild Country and Derren Brown’s Miracles for your Netflix binging needs.

Great job guys! Glad you are still putting out content on a semi-regular basis. Always enjoy catching up whenever I can. And yo Joel I agree that it’s sad this year that Psychopathic didn’t fork out to bring in comics to the Gathering. I attended at Cave-In Rock in 2011, and sitting on a haystack watching Mick Foley do his set at 2AM is one of my favorite memories. Hope your hosting duties are still enjoyable. P.S love all the guests but the show is always best with Corey!

It’s an unusual show, but it’s unusual to have so many great comedians under one roof.
